Apple Commits to Five Years of iPhone Security Updates

New UK regulation prompts Apple to specify support period, falling short of Samsung and Google's seven-year guarantees.

Apple will provide a minimum of five years of security updates for the iPhone 15 Pro Max starting from September 2023.
The commitment is in response to the UK's Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure (PSTI) regulation.
Samsung and Google offer seven years of security and OS updates for their latest flagship devices.
Apple has historically provided security updates for longer periods, with some models receiving updates nearly nine years post-release.
This new commitment marks the first formal specification of support duration by Apple.
